      Likewise, the Guitar would have never taken the center stage in music had it continued to be drowned out in Jazz ensembles by the Piano and Trumpet. Electrification changed the face of music itself and brought the lowly guitar to the centerpiece of modern music.

      Literature does not change like this. If anything, it loses elements of itself due to technologies rendering older more expressive languages obsolete and erasing their Words from usage. But pieces of technology do not drastically change it, only change the audience and the people

      No 3rd century BC fresco painter could produce a Rembrandt or American Luminist work for he did not have the technology of the fine brushes, paints, and canvases. Yet there was no limit beyond a man's understanding of his own language in telling a great story to a willing ear.

      The entirety of Scripture was written on leatherin parchments with conventional inks, so too were Homer's Illiad and later Dante and Goethe still used parchments.

      Modern writing implements and technology do not enable the creation of great works of literature, they merely make writing itself accessible to the commoner. Reams of cheap wood fiber paper replace great expensive sheafs of parchment and ink wells of squid and fine quills by Bic.

      With all our great tools at our disposal to increase our communication, little really changes within the art of Literature itself. Society changes, this is true, and the dumbing down of society makes it such that great works may never be possible again.

      Moving from the spoken to the written was a huge change Moving from written with books rare to written with books easy to access was also huge (due to effect on memorization) Moving from classicism to modernism was a huge change (loss of literary models)

      It was a change for society but not truly a change for crafting the story itself. The elements of a story are still things drawn from life and from the mind of the author.

      The way written word changed society was such that Storytellers no longer needed to pass their stories down from generation to generation. They could record their stories and have them distributed. The affect on society was to render the storyteller obsolete as a role.

      Previously new stories either built on on folklore passed down orally (among both peasants and nobles) or on mythology passed down both orally and in writing within a tiny elite

      The changing social role of the storyteller was less significant than the fact that it was impossible to educate more than 10%-25% of the population into elite culture

          I don't think that has changed too much. Elite culture has evolved beyond the grasp of the common regardless.

          that's exactly my point. elite culture was never within the grasp of the common; and for most of human history it was the only culture. Then our elite tried to adapt literature to the needs of the mass, and now there neither an elite nor a culture

          to reach more than that (=mass market for novels) you had to throw the first 3000 years of western culture overboard (and further, there may be a hard cap on absolute number as well as limits on ability, b/c you can't keep even 20% coordinated in a nation of 300M)
